Call for Papers

The 2018 Arne Ryde conference on Learning, Evolution and Games (LEG2018) will take place at Lund University on June 4-5, 2018, funded by the Arne Ryde Foundation.

The conference is intended to bring together researchers who are interested in the evolutionary foundations of economic and social behavior, evolutionary game theory, and learning in games. We welcome submissions from anyone working in these areas, both theoretical and experimental/empirical work. We aim for a small conference (less than 30 speakers) where meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas can take place. Accommodation for all presenters will be provided courtesy of the Arne Ryde Foundation.
